Catalogue Note
Known for his haunting naturescapes, meticulously expressed in charcoal on colored paper, Aji V.N.'s work relays a rarified saturation and tactile richness which recalls solarized black and white photographic negatives.
"My drawings are largely hermetic, withdrawn from subject matter, and principally concerned with a series of formal moves," the artist explains. (Aji V.N. rpt. Vermeijden, Aji V.N.: Recent Works, Galerie Mirchandani + Steinrucke, Mumbai, 2007).
